Oscar Awards 2022 betting thread

Should I place a bet... best movie Belfast.

You will lose your money. Best picture will be the West Side Story, remember my words.

Hollywood died because of our sins. If we weren't torrenting the shit out of them, they would be still alive and kicking now. 

Because of that, the best we got is shitty netflix productions full of sjw & lbgt propaganda.

Man, you should calm down. There is no any "sjw & lbgt propaganda" in this world. The only things is that we are wathing some change in culture right now. So, for some people it looks like "propaganda" or something like that.

We are the victims of our own greed.

Look how they massacred my boi. The Matrix Resurr... I can't even say its name. That fucking cocksucker Ton... I mean Lana Skorsky destroyed a fookin legend.



(I haven't watched it)

if you watch any recent nicolas cage movie you'll probably want to destroy your tv with so many horrors you'll be watching, i think matrix although i haven't watched it yet is better than so many other movies out there, although i didn't like that they changed Morpheus to put that young man as Morpheus, that ruined the film because the old Morpheus passed the image of being a sage, now with that young man I don't know how he will pass the image of a sage

as I haven't watched it's hard to judge

It would be much more worthful and interesting if they picked movies from the 90's and 2000's which weren't awarded appropriately back then due to the large number of precious gems on those times, and remade an oscar with those titles. Those were good, legit and spontaneous times when movies could portray the real views of the directors and from the public, without any retaliation fears from the enlighted critics' elite who are also adepts of the most envious, ranging and morbid ideologies of the world. I miss the times when movies' goal was to entertain and/or enchant the audience and not brainwash or put political garbage inside their heads.

If there were a movie which inspired me I would risk a guess, but I can't do this right now since all movies look lukewarm to me.

[Oceat]

I can't believe Ben Affleck's odd rating is too high compared to the other that I like the most while some of them aren't on the list. Well, I guess things have gotten change this time as we grow older. I found Joaquin Phoenix as an amazing actor with his very complicated role in "Joker".

I'd like to watch most of the movies of these nominated to determine why their ratings is in that level. Long story short, some of these actors/actresses doesn't deserve to be in Oscar imo. However, I can name a few if who's who but it doesn't matter anymore since the list is already written.

Nope, it's not because of Netflix entirely that's causing the death of Hollywood, they killed themselves by recycling every movie that they've made over and over again and they do shitty adaptations of the famous works and novels. Not to mention that Hollywood is full of sleazebags and abusers so no wonder why they are falling apart.

Best actress odds

Stewart, Kristen 1.53

Quite unexpectedly, to see Kristen as the favorite for the Oscars. I thought she could never overcome that prejudice about herself after the Twilight saga:

-

It is a pity that we will know the final results as early as next year - I am not interested in betting on such a long period. A lot can change during this time, plus I am passionate and I want to know right away whether I won or lost.

lol for the image above. but she's the favourite with that odds.
just place your bets the day before, so you don't have to wait long. for sure, most top bookies here will have this line up. if this new covid strain will have bad impact in the coming months, they may delay this event again. so yeah, dont bet early.

[STT]

Joker is the movie I've been waiting for

Last year Joker was up for the award, it was released early a while ago to qualify.

Release date   
August 31, 2019

Dune the story might not be liked by some but any epic created world movie of that type can easily win at least one award in all the various credits possible.   So much work goes into the soundscape and landscape that actors perform on.

[bbc.reporter]

Best actor:
Dicaprio, Leonardo

Best actress:
Kidman, Nicole

Best picture:
Dune

Best director:
Scott, Ridley

I just picked my random selection on Oscar Awards as I am not yet watching all of that movies. Maybe later I will watch one by one to see if my choice is still the same or I need to change it

Good to see DiCaprio is one of the nominees of the Oscar Awards

Dune is like a Star Trek with a laser beam everywhere

I am not a fan of that kind of movie but I just like it

Did you really watch Dune? It is not a movie with laser beams everywhere. Dune is not similar to Star Trek. I reckon many fans of Dune would be offended to that hehehe.

Dune is a high quality movie that is directed by Denis Villeneuve, also the director of Sicario and Arrival. The soundtrack is very good with music by Hans Zimmer who has won awards before. The cinematography is also very good. I reckon this is a movie made to be in the Oscar Awards.

I also forced myself to watch Power of the Dog again. This time as a critic hehehe. It reminded me of the movie No Country for Old Men but a boring version. The cinematography is very good, however. The director also appears to be the favorite.

I also watched Don’t Look Up where Leonardo Dicaprio might be nominated for best actor. I am not certain. The director of this movie is Adam Mckay, the director of the movie the Big Short.

@mindtrust. You might be joking about the Matrix Ressurection, however, it might win best sound mixing, sound editing, best special effects or best costume categories.

Actually, this is what I am thinking to do this time. I honestly do not have any particular bets yet, for some reason I cannot fathom which is which among these choices. It’s as if I am not satisfied with such options. Anyway, I am planning to just wait the day before to place my bets, so I won’t have to think too much about it and be able to know the bets of the majority.

Was there even a good movie in 2021? I don't remember I watched any quality movies lately. Oscar awards lost its meaning long time ago. Seems to me they are trying to keep this tradition alive desperately. Since there aren't any decent movies, they are throwing the awards randomly now. Which means, you can't really come up with an educated guess.

Exactly. Most the movies right now are from comics or animated films that focus on effects because this is what the viewers preferred even though the story is not that interesting compared before. Movie like Forest Gump with cool story didn't exist anymore nowadays.

But I'm a fan of Keanu so I believe Matrix is a worthy movie to watch in 2021

I didn't say that at all. Netflix is the result, not the cause.

Hollywood killed itself that's true but I believe piracy also had a good part in it. There are thousands of people that download pirated stuff every day. Think about the millions of dollars those movie producers could have collected from those watchers. Some people say that those people are pirating because they can't afford to pay for it but I am not sure how true this is.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with entertaining cinema, of course, the ideal case when it is entertaining and has a scenario like Forrest Gump.
I think that films with original scripts now need to be looked for in European cinema or some other niche, it is rather difficult because to find out if film is good you need to watch it, but sometimes you will stumble upon real gems like this:The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window

[decodx]

But I'm a fan of Keanu so I believe Matrix is a worthy movie to watch in 2021

Matrix Resurrections is actually not that bad of a sequel to the Matrix trilogy, it's just that it came 20 years too late. 

As for the Oscar Awards predictions, I think I will wait for the official nominations. Nominations for the 94th Academy Awards will be announced on February 8, 2022, for now, the only official information we have is 94TH OSCARS SHORTLISTS.

Maybe her competitors are even worse this year? Actually I'm not an expert in acting and maybe she really became a cool actress. As for the bet, if the results were known tomorrow (or at least within a week), then I would not hesitate and did it. The odds 1.53 are too attractive, but I am sure that when there is such a short period of time before the denouement, the odds will drop to some 1.1 (after all, there are insiders everywhere) and there will be no point in betting.

[Johnyz]

Oh my god, Di Caprio again in there. Please, tell me he is not going to win again. I am not surprised about the movies odds - for example who was the guy that woke up one morning and decided that the world needed just another version of Dune? Really? Is like waking up in New York and thinking that the world just needs another Italian restaurant. Regarding actresses, I dislike most of them and I really do not see how Lady Gaga fits at all even in a nomination.

Should I place a bet... best movie Belfast.

Leonardo Dicarpio is a great actor but as far as I know he only won once in Academy awards and that was on 2016 as a best actor for The Revenant. He has been nominated since 1994, and fortunately for him to won his first Oscar Awards. So for me there's nothing wrong to see his name again on the list.

I haven't watch much Movie in 2021 because of the pandemic that limits theaters to operate, but still good to see many good actors and actress on the list, I just can't choose yet maybe I need to watch those movies first before placing a bet.

[STT]

Quite a few of the greatest actors never received an Oscar for a few reasons, many a brief career or just a lack of starring roles, possibly just bad luck with amazing competition each year they were nominated.   At this point I'd say Di Caprio is lucky with his one win, I dont think he has to deserve another but he does make a hell of alot of movies and with good quality so one year he might get lucky again.

Code:

Best picture odds

Belfast 3.80

West Side Story 4.40

THE Power of The Dog 6.50

Nightmare Alley 12.00

Licorice Pizza 13.00

Dune 15.00

King Richard 19.00

THE Tragedy of Macbeth 19.00

House of Gucci 21.00

Coda 23.00

I'd rather bet on one of the outliers then favorites but the academy do have their own particular reasoning.  I guessed The Father would win something though it was never a conventional blockbuster, easiest way to label that would be sentimental pictures are usually way ahead.

I'm not sure how the casinos put those lists together, but I don't think they're official yet. According to the official website, the Academy has announced shortlists only for these ten categories for the 94th Academy Awards: Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, International Feature Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song), Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film, Sound and Visual Effects.

Even if DiCaprio ends his career now (and he certainly does not), he should receive at least one more Oscar in the category "For outstanding service in the cinema". If I'm not mistaken, this nomination is still relevant and is awarded to various legendary actors based on their entire career and not films in a particular year. In my opinion, DiCaprio has already deserved it.

[bbc.reporter]

I have watched Belfast and King Richard yesterday and I can say to those who posted that there are no good movies released this year have been very mistaken. Power of the Dog, Dune, Belfast and King Richard are very high quality movies that deserve to win an Oscar in different categories.

However, someone mentioned that movies today are part of a LGBTQ propaganda and he is correct! That might be the political and social storyline for the Oscar Awards on 2022 hehehe. My favorite movie as of now to win best picture and best director is Belfast, however, according to an article in Screenrant, Power of the Dog is a movie about toxic masculinity and how this can be a person’s downfall as shown how a masculine character, who himself might be homosexual, was defeated by another homosexual character in the movie.



When it gets down to it, The Power of the Dog is a story about toxic masculinity and how it can ultimately lead to a person's downfall. Phil keeps up this tough-as-nails, relentlessly mean persona in the wake of Rose and Peter, and it leads to Peter plotting against him just as Phil is starting to warm up to him.

I remember back in 2018 Spike Lee's film BlacKkKlansman had several oscar nominations.

It was beat out by marvel's Black Panther (2018) which took home 3 oscars.

After that, comic book films were blamed for many societal trends in the USA. Even though comic book films are a global market, and not limited to north american release.

I think there could be considerable jealousy and envy from hollywood towards the success of comic book to live action film adaptations, which have flourished recently.
